The Five Things Meme ...

Oh dear ... I just noticed that Maggie tagged me with the Five Things Meme. The last time I was tagged I just forgot about it! Malus bloggerus, nullum crustulum!

Despite my needing to go to bed (and write thank you cards ... well reverse that order) and waking up at a crazily early hour to commute to the City, I'll bite .. it will be interesting given that Life Has Changed just recently for me. Without further ado ...

Until very recently: a packet of salami which I got on a flight over to Rome in March. It was the beginning of Lent and I'd given up meat for the season. When snacks came around, I suddenly realized I hadn't requested a vegetarian meal ... luckily they found a veg. dinner for me, but I kept the salami packet in my backpack for some bizarre reason (Jamie, you remember this?) It showed up months later and ended up in the trash. Ha!

I'm sad to know that the salami is gone...you were so determined to eat that when you were allowed again! I once saved a packet of cheese from a flight to Paris. I think I had it for years until I finally decided that enough was enough...or maybe my mom threw it out. Either way, I now miss that cheese.

Gashwin?

Gashwin Gomes is a pseudonymn. Way back, when I was seriously considering becoming Roman Catholic, some friends decided that I needed a proper "Mac" name ("Makapao" a somewhat derogatory term for a Goan Christian). Thus was born Gashwin Gomes. After linking the blog to my Google+ profile, I've started using my real name on here.
